    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many Bills in the National Assembly that have been termed as “Money Bills”. As the Senate, what we strive for are our communities. It behoves our work when we have sat in this Senate and our communities cannot be helped. The Natural Resources (Benefits Sharing) Bill was clear about the proportions to be given including 20 per cent for the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) and 80 per cent that would go to the national fund. Within the 80 per cent, 60 per cent was going to the counties and 40 per cent was going to the communities. Within those communities, 40 per cent was going to specific communities. That way, the cries that I heard from the old men and women in Mzima Hills in Kwale County to the point that they felt so disenfranchised--- They said: “Can we just have these minerals remain in those mountains, if need be.” Today, in a WhatsApp message that is circulating, information is being given about the amount of money that is being reaped by companies that are exploiting natural resources."
